GPT-6 Astra progress video

 

A video talking about open ai's recent ai's ability to prove 10 unsolved problems in mathematics.   It elaborates on the way the proof was verified, how mathematicians have commented on its proofs and tested it, and how this amazing feat takes us closer to agi.

There is some controversy given earlier this year models failed at similar tasks, no errors have yet been found on the latest proofs from more recent models, but they're still being reviewed.

"Intelligence and understanding started as a memory system that fed predictions into the sensory system. These predictions are the essence of understanding. To know something means that you can make predictions about it."- Jeff Hawkins

"[We need to see the brain] not as a fast processor, but as a memory system that stores and plays back experiences to help us predict, intelligently, what will happen next."- Jeff Hawkins

As famous entrepreneur and researcher Jeff Hawkins once commented, it is likely general intelligence itself is an advanced memory system.  As I've commented previously, the ability to handle incomplete data, or patterns, and complete them appears essential. Sequence or token prediction is a form of pattern completion, so there is high promise even to LLMs if they continue to be augmented and improved to more effectively manage memory.

cool workout

 

The youtuber Jaxblade comments and gives tips on the workout used by Tom Holland for spiderman.  Also mentions potential upgrades and issues that may emerge while doing it, and how to keep it engaging.

Post about troubleshooting code broken by LLMs/AI

 

Interesting post from a large youtuber where he covers troubleshooting an app that was broken by ai coding assistant.  He goes into great details in his methodology, which is very useful.

cool xmen scene

 

A cool scene from the xmen movies.  Fassbender played an excellent role as Magneto.  And in this tragic scene we see how destiny screwed over Magneto in the old Fox's x-men movie series.

Video on longevity and immortality

 

Comment

we don't need brain emulation; we only need central nervous system regeneration. The neurons of mice can live over twice as long as mice and are believed could live indefinitely in a new host. Same likely applies to humans, if the body didn't age most neurons could last for centuries, and they could be slowly replaced with regeneration. Backups could assist regeneration, and the brain tissue could be genetically extremophile hardened to withstand prolonged blood or oxygen deprivation so as to survive extreme accidents while awaiting regeneration of body.

AI made games, featuring claude opus 5.

 

Some not so impressive games are shown using claude opus 5.  The quality is still quite lacking in my opinion.   Given the amount of knowledge and training the model has it should be able to do better even with simple prompts.   

It has been seen that far more elaborate prompts with repeated modifications can produce notably more impressive results.

m5 ultra leak rumors

 

The m5 ultra is rumored to have up to 700+GB of ram, as well as massive performance.  I still think it may be better to wait, as the m7 ultra is rumored might have over 1500+GB of ram, and have even better performance.  With 1+TB if it comes true that is already enough to run some of the largest models, with just one or two units.
